About Transcend

Transcend is a sustainability-driven software company transforming the way engineering firms, utilities, and technology suppliers assess and design critical infrastructure. Our first-of-its-kind generative design platform, Transcend Design Generator (TDG), automates preliminary engineering for water and wastewater treatment facilities, electrical substations, and other essential assets. By incorporating innovative and sustainable technologies, we help ensure safe, equitable, and resilient infrastructure worldwide.

Why Transcend?

The Engineering & Construction industry – which spends over $500 billion annually on engineering services – has relied on the same manual processes for decades. This lack of innovation slows down progress on climate action and sustainability. Transcend is changing that. Over the past 10 years, we’ve built a cloud-based software solution that redefines how projects are developed, accelerating design, boosting efficiency, and driving cultural transformation across the industry.

Our customers include many of the global top 10 engineering and construction firms, and we are backed by leading US, European, and Chinese private equity investors, along with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private-equity arm of the World Bank Group.
